you don't see law being made at the white house. they go out there and they huddle up in their conference rooms and they come out to the rose garden and they make the announcement. you never see the process. you don't see the process in the u.s. supreme court or in the courts of appeals. what happens there is the lawyers and the parties come in and make their cases and then the justices and judges, they go back and conference and they talk about it back in their chambers and they come out with their decision, and, bam, that's what you have. you don't always know what the deliberations are, you don't know all the considerations. same for the u.s. house of representatives, with all due respect to our other chamber down the hall here. because of the way their rules operate, because of the rules committee and just the way it's structured and their history and, quite frankly, their d.n. d.n.a., it's a majority -- it's a majoritarian body. but not the united states senate. in the senate, we allow senators to amend and debate and to vote.
